Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)

[Shazza458]

Could this be another reason why we have not splurged on player acquisition? Let the new man get a feel over the next few months, see how city operates before dipping into the market?

The succession planning is second to none. Proper business, not like the rags, tell the media we are having a meeting next week lol.

Best in class.

I think so

Think we’re either waiting for a fresh commitment from Pep and then back him or alternatively back the new manager.

Interesting that City's statement says "will stand down from his full time role", made me wonder if he's going to hang around doing something 'part time'.

Might just mean he’s licensed a cardboard cutout of himself to be used in contract signings.

Or he's loaning out his range of cardigans....

Consultancy work for CFG I reckon.
Sam Lee said mentioned something about him doing ad hoc consultancy work.

Pretty sure that not only did he play in that famous Wanchope 1-0 game in 2004, but that he was also the last player to touch the ball in the match.

Here he is about to loft the ball into the box. Referee blows up as soon as he kicks it.

I remember that game, pretty much kept us up that win.

Replacing a 60 year old employee with 40 years old is a interesting.


Hopefully he will have better record than Txiki

He’d do well to get anywhere near Txiki’s record!

We’re appointing the “Newcastle flop” according to the Mail! lol

Txiki must have been mid 40s when he arrived, so not that interesting. If he’s near as good as Txiki we’ve done well.
